Could This New Congressional Resolution Lead to Impeachment of Obama?
Minutemen News ^ | 12/15/2013

Posted on 12/15/2013 5:22:09 AM PST by IbJensen

At the first of December the House Judiciary Committee held hearings about whether or not Barack Obama has upheld his oath of office by following and enforcing the laws of the land.

It seems clear from that hearing that Obama has indeed broken his oath. South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy (R) asked pertinent questions with regard to the issue at hand. Now, his colleague, South Carolina Representative Tom Rice (R), is set to file a resolution to direct Congress “to bring a civil action for declaratory or injunctive relief to challenge certain policies and actions taken by the executive branch.” This could inevitably lead to impeachment of Barack Obama

While the House hearing dealt with several laws that Obama ignored or re-wrote apart from Congress, the specific one in question was his signature piece of legislation, the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. He has engaged in waivers and rewriting of the law at will, which is unconstitutional according to Article I, Section 1 and Article II, Section 3.

Article I, Section 1 states:

All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Article II, Section 3 states:

He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States.

“President Obama has adopted a practice of picking and choosing which laws he wants to enforce. In most cases, his laws of choice conveniently coincide with his Administration’s political agenda. Our Founding Fathers created the Executive Branch to implement and enforce the laws written by Congress and vested this power in the President. However, President Obama has chosen to ignore some of the laws written by Congress and implemented by preceding Presidents,” Rice wrote in a letter to fellow House members to ask them to co-sponsor this resolution.

“This resolution allows the House of Representatives to bring legal action against the Executive Branch and challenge recent actions, inactions, and policies,” he added.

Barry is an utter moronic Marxist idiot who has surrounded himself with other idiots who are either goose-stepping communists, or they are assorted homosexuals, lesbians and other weird anti-American types.

I begrudge them their rations, let alone these bloated government salaries and BONUSES!

As much as he deserves it, Obama will never be impeached.

And, sad to say. The “lyin’ king” and his minions ain’t goin’ away. Even if they did, the damage that’s been done during the last 5 years will take decades to sort out.

Impeached? He could behead a troop of girl scouts on the White House lawn during the Easter Egg roll, butcher them, barbecue them and serve them to all the participants and he still wouldn’t be impeached. And if you criticized him about it, the press would say “it’s a black thing” and accuse you of being a racist tea bagging rethuglican for bringing it up while licking their fingers and asking Michelle what kind of “awesome” spice rub they’re using and beg for more of that “delicious” macaroni & cheese and a refill of their kool-aid.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/may/2/south-carolina-house-passes-bill-making-obamacare-/ South Carolina House passes bill making ‘Obamacare’ implementation a crime . . .

http://www.civil-war.net/pages/ordinances_secession.asp AN ORDINANCE to dissolve the union between the State of South Carolina and other States united with her under the compact entitled “The Constitution of the United States of America.” . . .

While I don’t believe Obama will be impeached and removed from office (the lawless precedent set by Democrats under Clinton the Perjurer proves my point, particularly when Obama the Usurper is even more popular with the liberal fringe), there is a second path that can be followed when the alleged president refuses to uphold the Constitution. Clearly the honorable legislators of the State of South Carolina remember that second option.

I’m not necessarily saying that your critique of the source is wrong, or that it may be a farcical source. However, please cite the portion(s) of the article that is wrong headed.

Wasn’t Bubba ‘impeached’, then remained in office, while now becoming the rats leading statesman? Zero will never be impeached because he is black. Besides would anyone want Crazy Joe in charge?

Well, we know that things are going to get much worse under the juvenile rein of the cretin, but we don’t know how much worse. Further, we don’t know how much more of the juvenile Marxist stupidity even America can withstand.

Personally, I believe we’re headed for the bottom of the swamp and that reality will become more and more apparent to us as the pain sinks into each of us.

It’s very possible that in the very near future (as this idiot moves very fast from one topic to another) Americans may revolt and the unfortunate result may be gruesome.

Caution needed here---every conservative would LOVE to see Obama impeached and thrown out of office.

BUT would that turn the lying creep into a "victim"?

REMEMBER Repubs lost ground after the Clinton impeachment---they were enraged that Clinton got lewinskied in the Oval Office and merely said so....that was considered to be "overreaching."

If, as predicted, tens of millions of people lose their health insurance after the new year, that could be a game changer. That many people losing insurance would cross all racial, political and economic lines. Public sentiment toward this self appointed Messiah could change in a big way.

The entire article is wrong-headed, because the premise of the article is wrong.

Who is the author of the article?

He will be allowed to continue his distructive path all because of the single word that strikes fear in all the white folk, racism.

I don't care if he turns into a box of Raisin Flakes....

..the least of our worries is whether he would be a 'victim'

We, the people, just want to survive and restore our country.

The First Black President™ will never be impeached. That would be racist.

Beyond impeachment. Obama & members of Congress should be dragged from offices by their neckties.

You would use the law to oppose socialism? But it is upon the law that socialism itself relies. Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, not illegal plunder. Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help. - Bastiiat
